Chapter 1182
“Millie, we sincerely apologize. Please find it in your heart to forgive us.”
“Why should she forgive you? Words cut like unseen blades. Had she not possessed resilience, you would have ousted her from this company.
Disperse and resume your duties.”
Dottie waved her hand dismissively, her distaste for these hypocrites evident.
She then pulled Millie away, hoping to escape the crowd’s prying eyes.
“Could you possibly lend a hand with these earrings? I find myself a tad entangled,” Dottie inquired, her intent to divert apparent.
Subsequently, the throng dispersed.
Upon observing their departure, Dottie said in a hushed tone, “Don’t pay them any mind. They’re only apologizing out of fear of repercussions. You don’t need to accept their apologies. They got what they deserved.”
With a playful flick to Dottie’s forehead, Millie smiled and praised, “You’re quite the character.”
But Millie had no intention of accepting their apologies. If she had lost to Nancy, she knew that their apologies would have turned into mockery and disdain.
Nancy returned, her disappointment palpable. As she passed by Millie’s desk, she couldn’t hide her resentment. Defeat had not humbled her, it had only fueled her bitterness.
“Millie, you’re quite the schemer, aren’t you? You hid your identity just to beat me. There’s no one more conniving than you.”

Dottie’s retort was swift.
“Oh, look who’s talking-a loser to a winner. Careful now.”
Casting her gaze first upon Millie and then upon Dottie, Nancy’s Lips curled into a sardonic smile. In the usual run of things, Dottie occupied the office as though translucent, an unobtrusive figure. Yet, the current circumstances seemed to have bestowed upon Dottie the audacity to confront Nancy, bolstered by her alliance with Millie.
“Ha ha, you’re nothing but a worthless bitch, and you think you can speak to me? I can beat you with one hand tied behind my back.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Nancy had never taken Dottie seriously, viewing her as insignificant.
“You.
Dottie was about to fire back at Nancy. Dottie held Millie in high regard because Millie was talented and even kind-hearted.
Millie locked eyes with Nancy, resolute and unyielding.
“We made a bet, remember? It’s time to honor your end.”
Nancy’s complexion turned ashen, but she clung to her assertion.
“Millie, please refrain from pushing me to my limits. It’s common knowledge that the wager is nothing more than a joke. Should the tables turn, I won’t insist on your undertaking the undignified task of leaving on all fours.”
Her gaze brushed past the crystal-clear barrel of water positioned by the windowsill. Appearances notwithstanding, its contents were far from fit for consumption.
